As Halloween fades into the shadows, Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday to tide the country over until Christmas, offering the reassurance of a warm, hearty meal and treasured family time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The origins of the holiday, however, are widely criticised. The traditional tale begins in New England in 1621, when the Pilgrims are said to have broken bread with the neighbouring Wampanoag tribe, sharing food and knowledge. Many historians contest this version, arguing it serves as propaganda and completely ignores centuries of brutality faced by Native Americans. In reality, many tribes including the Wampanoag, lost many tribal members to the devastating effects of European diseases. Today, many Americans choose to treat Thanksgiving as a time for gratitude rather than paying homage to these settlers, and many agree the holiday has outgrown its roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dishes served have outgrown their roots as well. The 1621 harvest meal likely featured seasonal and local ingredients such as peas, beans, squash, and flint corn, alongside vegetables brought over from England including cabbage and carrot. Venison and wildfowl, such as ducks and geese, were served, and unlike today&#8217;s tables, seafood was a likely addition including fish, eel, lobster, and mussels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of today\u2019s favorites were missing entirely. Butter and flour were not readily available so the Pilgrims could not have baked a traditional pie crust, which means no pumpkin pie. Now, very few of the original dishes are served, as the modern holiday leans towards modern culinary trends. Turkey is the centerpiece, joined by familiar favourites like mac and cheese, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes and stuffing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although American and British traditions differ, our food cultures often overlap. As we come into the cooler months, nothing is more appreciated here in Britain than the Sunday roast (of course everyone cooks it slightly differently, and no one\u2019s is as good as your own). It&#8217;s remarkably similar in nature to a classic Thanksgiving meal, with roasted meat taking center stage alongside a variety of vegetable side dishes. Americans may only get to enjoy their feast once a year, but it&#8217;s clear both countries view a hot, nutrient rich meal as the best way to sustain morale as the days get darker and colder!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Words by: Jay Kaur, Saniya Bhatia, and India Perkins.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by: Unsplash Image License
